You've gotten blind stinking drunk.

You might have even hurked into the toilet/gutter/bushes.

Before you close your eyes and go to sleepdrink 1 full cup of water

The intense headache pain portion of the hangover is caused by dehydration and toxic byproducts of alcohol metabolism, which are now more concetrated because you're dehydrated.

Drinking water before sleeping helps the dehydration.

When you wake up, have bananas and ginger ale. The bananas are easy for your upset digestive tract to handle (you've just poured in lotsa alcohol. The natural flora and fauna of you intestines do not like this). Plus the bananas are full of potasium, which you need

The ginger extract in ginger ale helps settle your stomach. You can also just chew a tiny bit of ginger or candied ginger.

Take ibuprophen (motrin) never, EVER tylenol. (Your liver must metabolize tylenol in much the same way you metabolize alcohol, and this increases the strain and damage to your liver.)

After your headache and intestinal problems have settled down a bit, it's time for your first real meal of the day.

Make it something greasy. I don't know why, but this makes you feel better than something wholesome and healthy. Bacon and Eggs, Grilled Cheese, or French Fries fit the bill nicely.

And next time, when you drink, when you get nice and schnockered , towards the end alternate every drink with a glass of water.

another thing you need to do is to eat a lot of sugar, as in honey before going to sleep. drink lotsa water, a glass after every drink you take, and then take a vial of Royal Jelly (get it at a specialty shop) It tastes like crap, so drink it if you are really goddamn roaring drunk.

anyway, happy boozing

Either that, or you could NOT GET DRUNK IN THE FIRST PLACE!

It's stupid and pointless to get drunk. It's the quickest way to get rid of your inhibitions so you do thoughtless and potentially harmful things to yourself and other people.

I've never been drunk, and never want to, but wine with family takes a toll on me sometimes, even when I dont get drunk. I eat more chocolate with wine now, and thus I dont get hangover symptoms. Red wine is the killer on your head, but very good for your heart in moderation.

~Coxy's hangover cure?:
Take a large glass, and fill it about three-quarters of the way with milk, and add a raw egg.
Add honey, for energy.
Add tomato juice, for fructose.
Add cinnamon, for extra kick.

Then take the whole glass, and pour it down the sink. If you were smart enough to do that, then you can't be feeling that bad, after all!

I'm with the Old man!

Why get drunk?

Americans get drunk more than anyone else in the world, and for why?

Probably because their families never taught them to drink responsibly while they were teenagers, like most of Europe does.

Granted, being fed ice cubes dipped in single malt Scotch since before I could walk, and large (Scottish) family weddings since I was an early teenager has led me to be able to down several pints of Guinness before I could be considered "drunk" as such...

Why get drunk? Drink Responsibly.

Well, of course the solution is not to get that schnockered to begin with. I have about 1 drink a month. (My mother died of cirrosis, so I'm not really much for drinking.)

But, upon occasion, you will do too much, and it's good to know what to do to make yourself feel a bit better.

And never drink and drive. If you're feeling tipsy it will be at least 90 minutes before you're safe. If you're feeling good and properly drunk, it's at least 3 hours. Better to get a lecture or be late than kill somebody or go to jail.
